Settings and Configurations

The AIStor Server process stores its configuration in the storage backend directory. These settings define runtime behavior of the AIStor Server process.

You can establish or modify settings by defining:

an environment variable on the host system prior to starting or restarting the AIStor Server. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for how to define an environment variable.
a configuration setting using mc admin config set.

If you define both an environment variable and the similar configuration setting, AIStor uses the environment variable value.

Some settings have only an environment variable or a configuration setting, but not both.

Each configuration setting controls fundamental MinIO behavior and functionality. Test configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.

Additional settings include those to customize:

Core settings
Root credentials
Batch job functions
Lifecycle Management
Metrics and logging
Notification targets for use with Bucket Notifications
Identity and access management solutions
Storage class
Server-side encryption
Console
Object Lambda functions
